If I'm being honest, I think February is my least favorite month. It's the shortest month of the year ,and yet it seems to drag on interminably.

Went to the movies for the first time since 2020 and saw two movies (Cruella & In The Heights). Celebrated my friend Karen's birthday by going to the movies and eating sushi. Celebrated [...]
